[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8690665, member: 22779"] As probably the biggest proponent of this, I would point out that this is VERY inaccurate. As in not even remotely right. What was ACTUALLY suggested (and I believe I suggested it again here) was that halflings get bumped to the Monster Manual or a section of the DMG, similar to where we find Eladrin now. All the rules are kept. Nothing is lost, nor would you have to "buy a splat book to play them". However, that would open up space in the PHB for a couple of new races to see if they can gain more traction than the two "also rans" of D&D. My personal picks would be an anthropomorphic template race - something that lets you pick an animal and select a couple of traits that fit with that animal - and probably Warforged since Warforged seem to be a very popular option and fill one hell of a lot more interesting niche than either gnomes or halflings. And for that, I got absolutely dog piled on and told that I hate halflings and gnomes and the only reason I would think this is because I hate gamers. :erm: It was rather bizarre to be frank.
